There is nothing unprecedented here, unless you're a newb to aviation. Shit like this happens once in a while, and life goes on. Air France pitot tube disaster didn't bankrupt Airbus or Air France.
Now, imagine that I've got a vehicle you can ride that will get you there in a third of the time and with minimal physical effort, and it'll only cost you about a dollar. To top it off, you don't have to worry about maintenance or security. Do you see the attraction now?
I can see the attraction for a jobless millennial living in his parents' basement who can't afford a car because he has crushing student debt payments from his Gender Social Studies degree. But for actual adults with adult jobs who own cars and/or motorcycles, no. There is no attraction.
Back in the 1960s. There was a popular idea among scientists that Venus and Earth were twin planets, nearly identical at birth. But Earth acquired a giant moon later, which slowly stripped away most of Earth's atmosphere (because the earth's atmosphere extends beyond the Moon's orbit).
Venus never got a giant moon, so it retained all its normal (very heavy) atmosphere, while Earth ended up with its present light and airy air.
You can see this idea in some hard sci-fi written at the time, like Larry Niven's Known Space series.
Unless you're very old or female, you should be able to do at least a couple of proper pushups. Unless of course you have some physical disability (obesity would count as a disability here)
Assuming that's the case (your disability is obesity rather than something irreversable like paraplegia), you should really make an effort to improve your fitness to the point where you can at least do a couple. Start by doing some knee pushups every day. If you can't even do a knee pushup, try inclined ones. Gradually increase the reps until some day you can do a proper pushup. Your body will thank you.
more likely Ann Coulter would rail against government incompetence and the dishonesty of career government bureaucrats. Because you know, that's basically what happened here.
Frank Herbert was most likely eating them while watching Lawrence of Arabia and hallucinated himself the whole Dune universe. Note the uncanny resemblance between Dune and Lawrence of Arabia.
like, government goons physically beating the shit out of you. And also imprisoning you for having the wrong opinions. Oh and harvesting your organs while you're imprisoned. Yeah that's a thing in communist China, they take your organs out.
But if you're a sheltered computer guy then yeah the government snooping on you via the internets and AI face recognition might be pretty scary too.
Does Tim Cook actually monitor Twitter and look for posts with a #TIMCOOK tag and then read them?
Since anyone with an ounce of brain will realize the answer is a big fat NO, shouldn't it also be obvious that tagging a Twitter post with someone's name is completely worthless, and that if you wanna report a fucking bug, you should go to that company's bug reporting website and do it there? Apple has one, it took me all of 2 seconds to Google for it: https://bugreport.apple.com/
Actually it should be obvious to people by now that Twitter itself is completely worthless. Just let it die, please?
They didn't develop psi abilities, they just saw enough abnormalities to suspect that it exists.
Seeing evidence of, and suspecting that the sun is powered by nuclear fusion does not mean you can suddenly start building fusion reactors.
Suppose you ran an experiment where 10 different objects were hidden in a box and test subjects had to guess which one it was. You would expect 10% correct results over the long run. Now take another group and have them meditate or pray to cosmic forces and strongly visualize the box for 2 hours before doing the experiment, and you got 18% correct results.
Now suppose your trial size was very large and your test protocols were rigorous and scientifically beyond reproach. That 18% becomes statistically very meaningful, it is strong evidence of psi abilities. But how do you profit from this? How do you create a product bases on this information? You can't.
I just googled it, it was Sony's project (not Nintendo) called ESPER, and they actually quietly buried this project after it was concluded. They most definitely did not shout it from rooftops. However the existence of this project leaked out to the media at some point and a Sony spokeman was eventually coaxed into giving this statement:
Sony spokesman Masanobu Sakaguchi, to the South China Morning Post after the story about the company's research broke: "We found out experimentally that yes, ESP exists, but that any practical application of this knowledge is not likely in the foreseeable future."
Online polls (and related things like reviews/Yelp ratings etc) have been rigged so often and so easily since the dawn of the internet, the only surprising news here is that Cohen/Trump actually FAILED AT IT.
Back in the 90's, a large Japanese corporation (Nintendo or Sony, if memory serves) conducted a rather thorough research into this question. The surprising conclusion was that yes, they found evidence of consciousness beyond the brain (psi abilities etc) and it's probably real. But the other conclusion was, they saw no possible way to turn this into a product or profits, so it was quietly dropped.
well the actual point of the article is that SV tech exec are usually Trump hating liberals whose normal reaction to anything Trump does is to oppose it.
I inserted that "CNBC is left of center" thing just to reinforce my point that CNBC also has no love for Trump and if they're actually agreeing with Trump on something, it's gotta be a lot more credible than if, say, Fox News or some other Trump-loving entity was publishing it.
Here's a pretty good CNBC article about Silicon Valley execs secretly agreeing with Trump's hardline stance on China. Keep in mind, SV tech execs tend to be pretty liberal and CNBC is a part of NBC News so they're well left of center as well.
"If we're ever going to do anything about China, this is the perfect time. If we're ever going to stop them from forcing our companies into dubious joint ventures that represent ridiculous technology transfers and often outright theft, this is the moment."

There is hope all those journalists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome... it may be possible to find a cure by growing new neurons for them!

Google Smartglasses. Or Google Glasses, for short.
it's so obvious and self-evident that I don't think anybody ever wrote it down in a book. But it should be in every school textbook.
That law is, you tend to get more of what you reward. Conversely, you get less of what you punish.
You want people to smoke less, you put higher taxes on cigarettes.
You want more joblessness, you give out rewards (in the form of cash payment) for being jobless.
I mean aside from Lord Vader, is anyone else allowed to do this? Why do people stand for it?
I would just like, say "Fuck you" to Flickr and leave, if I were a subscriber. Which I'm not. But if I was, I would totally ditch them.
It's called buttery cinnamon cake laced with LSD.

And their cash horde is only $245 billion now.
It was $237 billion last quarter, and the only managed to add a measly $7 billion to it during this latest quarter.
Apple is obviously doomed, they are a failing company.

I swear I saw this exact same thing happening in 1999.
And then a year later the bubble burst.
We can't even trust Facebook with our baby pictures, and they wanna give them fickin' SPACE LASERS??
Didn't you guys watch the movie? It was basically just a 2 hour advertisement for the cassette tape format.
The sequel was also plugging the Microsoft Zune. I think the used Zune prices on ebay will be going up.

Ice falling off the liquid oxygen tank doomed one of the space shuttles, if I recall correctly.

It's a Nordic country. There's a difference.
The basics are that there is no such thing as being very fat and healthy.
